The vaccines are effective against the variants of the virus that are giving most cause for concern at the moment. Including the alpha variant (the British) which is 60 per cent more dangerous than the original virus, according to Socialstyrelsen.

There is a timetable for how and when younger people in Skåne are to be vaccinated. The plan is on regional commissioner Carl Johan Sonesson's Facebook page. The plan may be subject to alteration.
